Arc 11. The Broken World

Episode 92

No, I don’t have that feeling.

What would you do if there was one left?

It wasn’t a favorable choice for him either.

I didn’t want to be misunderstood, so I chose #1.

No, I don’t have that feeling.

Saying that, I looked at Fio who was standing next to him.

There was no change in his expression. However, the sensitivity has slightly increased.

Yes, it has.

Wilhelm’s face lit up a little.

Why, do you think you have a chance if you change Tatiana’s heart?

No. Something like that…

His smile was almost imperceptible, but it was a look anyone could see.

It felt strange to see Wilhelm like that. What would happen to them if they found out that all those emotions were fabricated?

Did you ever think your feelings for Tatiana were strange?

What do you mean?

Literally, did you ever think it was strange to change your mind so quickly?

Wilhelm smiled confidently at my question.

Of course I never thought it was strange.

I was shocked when I saw him smiling brightly with a very confident face.

I wanted to see his face collapsed and destroyed from that conviction.

Tatiana was the only light in my life, and keeping her is my goal in life.

What a lie.

It wasn’t just the male protagonists who had such pure feelings.

Both Raymond and Daniel had desires.

Raymond wanted power, Daniel wanted fame.

He had only shown me a raw desire that he hadn’t shown Tatiana.

Even if you are on Tatiana’s side, you are not satisfied.

What do you mean, what do you know about me?

I really don’t know. Still, I went to the academy with you and, above all, we were engaged for quite some time.

Besides, I had the experience of attacking him as a player in my previous life.

I don’t know Wilhelm himself, but I knew him better than I thought I did.

Think about it – did he mean he wielded his sword and fought to get that kind of love?

Now that the original’s deterrence has been reduced, it’s possible that Wilhelm’s condition has changed.

As evidence of this, the face of the man who seemed newly in love was distorted as if he had lost something.

When he chose Tatiana, he lost the position of commander of the knights and the trust of the Hunt family.

In the original story, he loved his family and made a name for himself as a knight of integrity and uprightness.

«But now, he’s just a knight who handles a sword well.»

Is that really a lie? I don’t think so.

Maybe Raymond and Wilhelm weren’t good at acting.

Remember what you lost by choosing Tatiana. Is the one next to Tatiana worth the trade-off?

I’m satisfied with my life now.

You are? It doesn’t look like that to my eyes…

I got up from my seat with Fio.

Wilhelm looked confused.

Had he never regretted his choice?

Tatiana is not going to take you that seriously. If she really valued you, she wouldn’t have made you her husband’s subordinate.

He bit his lip as if he were being stabbed in the face.

Think about it, Sir Wilhelm, is this really the right path?

Wilhelm, who had always shouted and refuted love, was silent this time.

He was definitely trembling. I smiled and left him outside.

I quickly looked at Fio and asked.

How was it? Did you see how the distorted magic was created?

[Hmm, it was done. But with that amount, I don’t think things would come out like that].

Hearing Fio’s words, I lost my energy.

If the amount is small, Tatiana’s bracelet may not be the culprit.

What if the demigod made a mistake?

[Hmm, what, if I take that woman, I’m sure she’ll be able to solve it].

That’s why Fio was also skeptical and wanted to make a purification device.

[Let’s keep that.]

There were too many things to deal with first.

I had to set up an order and solve them one by one.

I decided to take Fio for a walk to clear my mind.

Fio was screaming for a cuddle because he didn’t like walking barefoot on the hot sand.

Ugh, you can’t even walk properly in a place like this, what should I do?

[The ground is soft and it’s uncomfortably hot!]

Yes. You would.

I don’t know why I’m doing this to a big, strong guy in the first place.

The weather was already hot, but I was sweating while walking around carrying a bundle of hot fur.

Plus, carrying a dog in this world got people’s attention.

This damn dog.

Somehow, the expressions of the wolves I saw earlier in the cave seemed refreshing.

While cursing them inside, Fio, who was in my arms, raised his head and whispered.

[There are strange people around.]

Anything strange?

[Yeah, I don’t think he uses magic…]

Before Fio could finish speaking, someone approached me.

The red-haired, golden-eyed man strangely reminded me of someone.

Nice to meet you, princess.

The man already knew who I was.

Who are you?

My name is Ethan, heir to the Cassel family.

When I said that, it felt strangely similar to Raymond.

Why did someone from the Cassel family come to see me? I’m sure you haven’t forgotten that they sent an assassin to our family.

hahaha. At that time, there were many mistakes on our part. As you know, Raymond and our family don’t get along.

Having said that, Ethan moistened his lips with his tongue and smiled slightly.

His smile reminded me of Raymond.

«Is that your family?»

However, unlike Raymond, who had a strong youthful feeling, he had a more mature and dangerous charm.

I always wanted to see the princess someday. But this time…

Don’t beat around the bush, say what you want.

He had a puzzled look on his face.

I only recently learned of Sir Raymond’s oath. The damage it does to our family these days is enormous. I wondered if you could limit it a little.

A smile came out at the gentle, seductive look.

If you want to ask for something, shouldn’t you make up for the damage you’ve done before?

How dare you ask for such a difficult job with your mouth hanging loose?

If you want money…

Is Duke Pioneer a beggar?

Just like with Daniel, the money wasn’t that important.

If it’s money anyway, it’s because I have enough left to live on for the rest of my life.

So, may I ask what you want?

I know you want to monopolize the logistics business by sponsoring Giovanni’s transport.

…

Ethan’s face was cracked.

The demand to cede part of the business seems unimaginable.

I smiled and said.

Is it difficult? In fact, other than that, I don’t want anything from the Cassel family.

I never imagined I would ask for something like this… I didn’t know.

How happy would you be if your life could only be solved with money?

It was too much complacency to think that everything could be solved with money alone.

Ethan didn’t say anything.

Since it was a big problem, it seemed difficult for the successor to decide for himself.

It’s okay if you don’t answer right now. Please think carefully before contacting me.

I smiled at him and left.

As he walked away from Ethan, Fio bowed his head.

What’s wrong?

[It’s strange, isn’t it that guy?]

He sniffed and looked around. But he didn’t find anything.

I had to go back to my room to appease the disappointed Fio.

* * *

Andrew was sick for a long time under because of the torrential rain.

It was terribly painful, considering he hadn’t been sick in the last few years.

For several hot days, he had a long sleep.

It was the dream of that time when he met Tatiana and I distanced myself from Karina.

When he met Karina for the first time, it seemed like a dream.

When he was a prince, he lived without want.

People said that Andrew would become the crown prince.

And he thought so himself.

Because his father, the emperor, hated Aster terribly.

He called him in front of the people and made a joke on him on purpose and enjoyed it.

He himself was among the smiling people.

How stupid he was.

They laughed when they saw the beast trapped in the cage.

As they laughed and chatted, the beast didn’t even realize he was looking for an opportunity.

After his father’s mysterious death, Andrew’s world changed.

All the other siblings who laughed with him were purged under Aster’s wretched purple blade.

It wasn’t just a wild beast that was released from the cage.

A beast-like ferocity shook Andrew’s whole life.

Andrew fled as Viscount LeBron, his name and face lost and barely alive.

The people he met again were cruel to him.

Andrew, Viscount LeBron on the outskirts of the camp, was none other than the prince favored by the emperor.

Everyone pretended not to know Andrew, as if he did not exist.

At first, it was hard to adjust to the self-deprecating attitude.

There was no one around him.

Andrew, who had never approached anyone before and had no idea how to communicate with anyone, was alone in the academy.

Andrew felt as if he had lost himself completely.

One day, he slowly lost himself and got used to his new life.

What are you doing here?

It only took one word from Karina to start brightening up his life.
